Volume 1 The Rise of Dingxi Chapter 96 There is a Dream Today, and the Twilight of the Year [5]
Whether it's redbuds, or cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms.
After a season of hard work, it is inevitable that the fate of decay will be lost.
However, a winter of hiding and brewing makes them still open for this season of the following year.
It would be nice if people could smile like that.
It's a pity that people's smiles are all instantaneous intuition.
It doesn't have time to brew and no chance to laugh again.
I laughed this time, and I don't know when I'll be able to laugh again.
However, there is a rumor among the temples and rivers.
It's just that the higher the position, the less you laugh.
The more times the sword is drawn, the less you laugh.
Because there are many more unexpected things in this world than planned and reasonable.
The tip of Ou Xiao'e's sword touched the throat of the bandage freak.
But that's just the point.
She tried her best to get even more money.
So Ou Xiao'e couldn't laugh.
Is this still a human throat?
Ou Xiao'e felt as if she had been stabbed into an iron plate.
But even if it's really a monolith.
With the sharpness of the Bauhinia Sword, and the strength of her such a desperate blow, she should also be able to break it with one sword.
The bandage freak gently pinched the tip of the Bauhinia Sword with two fingers, moving it away from his throat.
Then he looked at Ou Xiao'e with a smile.
Although his face was all covered in bandages.
But Ou Xiao'e could still feel that his expression was smiling rather than smiling.
Ou Xiao'e bit her lips.
A trace of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Now she is not afraid.
It's resentment.
Obviously, he has already issued a sword in the name of responsibility and protection.
However, his own ability is indeed limited.
Unable to carry such a heavy purpose.
Now, he can only be slaughtered by others, and he will be respected.
Out of nowhere, the bandage freak found another flying sub.
He tucked the fly between his fingers and toyed with it.
I don't know why, Ou Xiao'e feels that this strap weirdo is a little more human than before.
This human touch does not refer to human touch.
Some people are cold and thin by nature, and they don't have a strong human smell.
Some people are enthusiastic and full of human flavor.
Ou Xiao'e said that the human taste refers to the way he does things.
The strap freak is like a wind-up bracket.
Every move is a board and a glance.
Murder is clearly not his purpose today.
The attack on Ou Xiao'e is also because Ou Xiao'e has hindered what she is doing and what she will accomplish.
Ou Xiao'e watched as the flying seed spun around his fingertips a few times, and then hit ten inches in front of him.
This flying man landed on the ground, as if drawing a line of life and death.
If Ou Xiao'e didn't know how to lift over this flying man, he would be killed.
Seeing Ou Xiao'e looking directly at the flying child on the ground in a daze, the bandage weird turned around with satisfaction, and began to rummage in Liu Ruiying's cabinet and bed again.
Ou Xiao'e looked at the flying child on the ground.
I remembered that night......
It was a night that everyone thought she had forgotten, or not remembered at all.
That night was the eve before she entered the Ou family.
The night began.
Ou Xiao'e saw a short sword stabbed into his father's throat.
It was her biological father.
It was then that she learned that a sword piercing a person's throat would not produce much blood, but would only bring out a string of floating blood flowers.
When her mother saw her husband fall, she kindly touched her head.
Then he stepped forward firmly, picked up his father's knife, and stood guard at the door.
Ou Xiao'e's father used a knife.
But before this night, Ou Xiao'e had no idea that his father would use a knife.
It's just that his father is very busy, and every time he goes out, it will be a long time before he comes back.
The last time her father left home, Ou Xiao'e had just learned to speak.
She babbled and asked her mother vaguely where her father had gone.
The mother said that my father went to Xiawei Prefecture in the Pingnan Domain to run errands, and he would come back when he was done.
Then her mother began to teach her to practice knives.
It's just that the knife she used at the time was not a real knife.
Rather, it's a dagger.
It was said that it was a knife practice, but it was just a dagger stabbing at this cotton-stuffed mat for a while.
But what mother would use a dagger as a toy for her talking daughter?
Little girls love to play with the house and love the dolls.
Ou Xiao'e is the same.
She has a bunny-shaped Muppet doll.
She couldn't remember where the doll came from, but she could see it lying beside her every morning when she woke up.
At that time, Ou Xiao'e didn't like this puppet doll.
Because she doesn't look pretty at all.
The ears were not the same size, and one hand was half broken, with only a few threads attached.
She knew she liked the puppet when she had stabbed the cotton-stuffed mat with a dagger.
The mother took the mat and replaced it with her rabbit-shaped ragdoll.
Ou Xiao'e couldn't do it.
She cried with a dagger in both hands.
The mother stood quietly and looked at her, not comforting or urging.
It's just that after she finished crying, he wiped the tears from her face with his hand.
Then he said:
"There will be many things in life that will accompany you for a long time and seem precious and cannot be abandoned. But you have to learn to give up, because if you don't, you're going to die. Do you want to die?"
Where does Ou Xiao'e know what death is?
This question is really too cruel for her age.
The mother saw that Ou Xiao'e was silent, still sobbing faintly.
She took the dagger from Ou Xiao'e's hand.
With a knife in his hand, he cut off the head of the rabbit puppet.
Ou Xiao'e cried again.
"I did it for you this time, next time you'll have to come by yourself. Otherwise, you will not be able to eat, drink, or speak. ”
Mother said.
She then took the rabbit puppet and re-stitched the head and body together.
Even the arm, which had been broken for a long time, was sewn up.
However, the stitches of the mother's mother are very dense, and both sides are sewn on both sides.
But it is stronger than before.
It's also more difficult to cut off.
Ou Xiao'e is a very lively child.
Ever since she could talk, she had to say a lot of things every day.
So she didn't have any idea of not eating or drinking, because she didn't know what would happen if she didn't eat or drink.
But not speaking would make her extremely uncomfortable.
She touched her neck and looked at the dagger her mother had placed there.
After talking to himself, he picked it up again.
Ou Xiao'e felt that she was holding the dagger this time, tighter than any before.
After the rabbit was sewn, she saw that her mother had added a piece of floral plaid cloth to her original neck.
This bright color looked out of place in Ou Xiao'e's eyes.
Because everything in her house is black.
The table is black, the chairs are black, and the dishes and chopsticks are black.
Even my mother's clothes were all black.
Sometimes her mother took Ou Xiao'e to the market to buy things, and many people mistakenly thought that her mother was a widowed woman.
Hearing these discussions, Ou Xiao'e always argued with reason:
"I have a father! It's just that he's out now, and he'll be back in a while!"
The people who were talking always had a look of sudden realization.
Because everyone will tell the child when the deceased of a loved one that he is just away from home, and you can go to him when you are older, or he will come back when you are older.
Ou Xiao'e once asked her mother why everything in the house was black and why she always wore black clothes.
Her mother told her that black was expensive.
Because black is the color of death.
It's easy to live, but it's sometimes hard to want to die.
The more difficult things are, the more expensive they are.
Later, Ou Xiao'e was already able to skillfully cut off the head of the rabbit puppet with a dagger.
Even if my mother sewed back and forth twice with thread, it was useless.
So my mother changed to a real rabbit.
So Ou Xiao'e hates rabbits very much until now.
It's not that she's killed too many rabbits.
It's because every time she kills a rabbit, she has to eat it for three meals that day.
So much so that when she saw the rabbit, she could think of the rabbit being skinned and cut into pieces and put into the pot by her mother.
So much so that when she sees a rabbit, she can think of the taste of rabbit meat.
When my father came back, it was an early afternoon.
On that day, my mother seemed to have a premonition.
The rabbit that she was supposed to kill every morning was moved to the afternoon.
Daddy came in the door.
She was wiping the blood from the dagger.
Ou Xiao'e looked at the blood on the dagger.
He didn't even notice that his father was standing silently behind him, looking at her with a smile on his face.
She stretched out her index finger, dipped the blood from the dagger, and put it in her mouth.
The last thing that caught my eye was my father's flustered face.
Later, Ou Xiao'e found out.
The dagger was fed with poison.
The poison can only be solved with hot oil.
This is also the reason why every time she kills a rabbit, her mother will fry the rabbit with hot oil before eating.
But what Ou Xiao'e couldn't figure out was why her method of killing rabbits was so perfect, but her mother still had to feed poison on the dagger?
It's a pity that his mother never had a chance to answer this question for him.
When she woke up again, it was the scene at the beginning of this memory.
After all, my mother also fell.
It's just that Ou Xiao'e didn't see clearly whether her death was also like her father, who was stabbed in the throat by a sword.
But she saw their bodies lying on the ground, overlapping each other.
It's like a newlywed couple in love.
A man walked in.
Blindfolded, she couldn't see clearly.
Besides, although Ou Xiao'e woke up, the residual poison on her body has not been removed.
The whole person is still in a state of confusion.
The masked man picked her up and took her away from her home, where she had lived for only a few years.
Later, the masked man took her for a long, long way.
For the first time, Ou Xiao'e knew that there was such a far place in this world.
When the carriage stopped, she saw through the crack in the curtain that they were coming to a city.
On the top of the city are written two big characters with strong penmanship: Danger.
Although the masked man was masked, Ou Xiao'e smelled a warm spring sun beside him.
It is inevitably strange that such a smell appears in a murderer.
But a child's instincts are always accurate.
Ou Xiao'e will definitely not go wrong.
From then on, no matter who she saw or what she saw, she felt like a rabbit.
Because there's nothing to be nostalgic about.
Everything can be discarded.
"Xiao'e, are you alright?"
Ou Yaming's voice pulled Ou Xiao'e's heart back.
Ou Yaming saw that the corners of Ou Xiao'e's mouth were oozing blood, and the tiger's mouths on his hands were also oozing blood.
It's just that there is more blood in the tiger's mouth than in the corner of the mouth.
It had already flowed down the hilt of the sword.
An extremely thin line of blood was formed on the body of the sword.
There was still a few inches away, and it was about to condense into a drop of blood at the tip of the sword and smash it on the ground.
Ou Yaming wanted to take the Bauhinia Sword from Ou Xiao'e's hands.
But Ou Xiao'e saw Ou Yaming standing at the door, with his back to the sun.
His face was like a black scarf.
She subconsciously retreated two parts, raised her sword and pointed at Ou Yaming.
Ou Yaming pointed a finger and hit Ou Xiao'e's wrist, and the Bauhinia Sword fell to the ground in response.
"What happened?"
Ou Yaming asked eagerly.
Only then did Ou Xiao'e see clearly that the person who came was the head of the family.
She tried to open her mouth to speak, but accidentally pulled the corners of her mouth.
She tried to raise her finger and point at the bandaged freak, but the wound on the tiger's mouth bleed even more.
Ou Yaming's gaze was fixed on the bandaged monster.
"The person who hurt my Ou family, Your Excellency has to give an explanation!"
Ou Yaming said.
All salute before soldiers.
Although Ou Yaming had already sentenced this person to death in his heart, this sentence had to be said.
What does the murderer say?
The only way to say that you are going to die.
Killed, it's useless to say more.
Didn't kill, and didn't bother to say more.
But it was the first time that Ou Yaming had seen someone raise his sword in front of him, and he could still be so calm.
Di Wei Tai can't, and neither can the five kings.
The sword that was able to feel sorry for Ou Xiao'e's injury and seek justice for her has now become Ou Yaming's sword to defend his dignity and status.
For the same Bauhinia sword, Ou Xiao'e's purpose for the sword was changed twice, and Ou Yaming was also changed twice.
People's hearts are really exquisite.
You don't know what you know.
Seeing that the other party is so rude.
Ou Yaming no longer cared about the saying that 'those who use the sword should not hurt people behind their backs'.
Fight with a sword to bully the body, and stab the bandage monster's shoulder armor to the point.
Before the sword arrived, the strength had already arrived.
Unexpectedly, the bandage monster didn't look back, held a chess piece in his palm, and clasped the sword with his backhand.
The energy is scattered, and the chess pieces are shattered.
It turned out to be a tie with Ou Yaming.
Ou Yaming was also shocked when he saw the number of roads on the other side!
But the current situation doesn't care about him anymore.
Because the bandage freak flicked in the palm of his hand.
The shattered chess piece struck at Ou Yamin's face.
Ou Yaming wanted to dodge sideways.
But when he thought that Ou Xiao'e was standing defenseless behind him, he had to resist with his sword.
He grabbed a chair with his sword and threw it at the bandage freak.
Pieces of chess pieces smashed the wooden chair to pieces.
A sawdust was thrown between the two.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ou Yaming motioned for Ou Xiao'e to leave quickly.
Ou Xiao'e hurriedly stepped on the life-and-death chess that the bandage monster had hit into the ground before.
I saw that chess piece being stepped on.
There was a "cough-cough" sound in the bandage freak's throat.
As if roaring.
Immediately after, he raised his hands flat with his palms facing him.
The middle fingers of the left and right hands are stacked on the index finger and flicked vigorously.
Ou Yaming wanted to use his sword to resist.
But I found that there was nothing in front of me.
When he was secretly surprised, he suddenly saw that the space in front of him was like a wine glass on the ground, shattering inch by inch.
The bullet of the bandage monster actually shattered the entire space in the room with his strength.
"Hide the Bauhinia in the homeland!"
Ou Yaming used the seventh layer of the Bauhinia Sword Technique.
Since it is the homeland, how can it be a detention trip?
Hugh thinks of his homeland for the old people, and his sincerity is all for the heart of the wanderer.
The homeland is a destination and a comfort.
Detention travel is a long journey, a foreign land.
It is indeed sad for those who have lost their way, but no one asks for sorrow, after all, this is difficult to cross.
The guests from other places are indeed shaky, but no one sighs, after all, it is a meeting in Pingshui.
A person thinks far away from him, if there is still a homeland to think about, it is like a bowl of porridge in the morning after drinking.
If you return to your homeland, it is still like traveling to the end of the world, no matter how big the world is, there is really no place for it.
The only thing worth caring about is the redbud blooming next to you.
It's not because this redbud is precious, or because of how much I like it.
I just don't want to turn my last little thoughts into a handful of ashes.
Now Ou Xiao'e is Ou Yaming's redbud.
It's not just her.
As the head of the Ou family.
Everyone in the entire Ou family is his bauhinia.
And he only has one man and one sword.
Although it is inevitable that there will be redbuds.
But after Ou Yaming sat in this position, he always spared no effort to avoid it.
What's more, Ou Xiao'e is the Ou family's 'sword heart'.
The next generation of family heads, the heirs of 'Jianzi'.
This redbud is naturally more delicate and worthy of care than the one next to it.
Ou Yaming also knew that if they kept growing under his own protection, these redbuds would not be able to truly flourish.
That's why he let these 'sword hearts' go out and walk the world.
But if you haven't experienced it, you'll already die.
It's a little too unworthy.
Ou Yaming will also feel too indebted in his own heart.
Life and death matter.
That's when you can't see it, you can't reach it.
Now he is standing in front of Ou Xiao'e.
If you change your life against the sky, martial arts cultivators should seize the day.
The Bauhinia Sword drew an arc in the air.
This arc enveloped the space that the bandage freak shattered.
Immediately, Ou Yaming pointed at the ground with the Bauhinia Sword in his hand.
The previous violent shock turned into a burst of microwaves.
It's like a ripple after a stone has been thrown into a calm lake.
Ou Yaming's eyes closed slightly.
Quietly waiting for the ripples to settle down completely.
It wasn't until the last wave of water had disappeared that he regained his sword.
This sword, Ou Xiao'e has never seen.
It's not the Bauhinia Sword Technique, nor is it any of the sword techniques recorded in the Ou Family Sword Pavilion.
This is Ou Yaming's own sword.
It's his own swordsmanship.
Ou Xiao'e didn't even feel that the Bauhinia Sword in Ou Yaming's hand had not moved.
Just shook his wrist slightly.
One of the bandage freaks' left arms falls to the ground.
When Ou Xiao'e was completely intoxicated by the subtlety of Ou Yaming's sword, Ou Yaming frowned.
Because he saw that even though the bandage monster had one of his arms cut off, he didn't touch it at all.
He didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
No matter how high the martial arts cultivation is, he can't close his senses.
But the bandage freak acted like he had inadvertently thrown some loose silver taels at his arm.
He only looked down at his fallen arm, and then used the tip of his right finger to reach for a flying child again.
It was Ou Xiao'e's spirit that noticed the strangeness of this bandage weirdo.
She saw that instead of blood was flowing from the wound, a large pool of fishy ink was flowing.
Just as the flying son in the bandage monster's hand was about to be shot.
He suddenly froze in place.
Ou Yaming thought he was preparing to change his tactics halfway.
Unexpectedly, the bandaged freak dodged and ran to the window.
Ou Xiao'e jumped in front of the window where a hole was smashed with a stone, and then disappeared.
